aligning the cladding

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have been spending a lot time to correct the cladding but couldn't fix it . Is there any easy way to align, correct and match the size of the cladding and make it look one whole cladding system?  I m in need of desperate help !!

cheers ozzy

What do you mean by: " align, correct and match the size of the cladding"? Your pattern is being applied as a "Fixed Number" to differently divided surfaces.

hi,

I had different surfaces because of the curves around the mass when I turn the surfaces into curtain wall system it turns to different sizes and it is not continues.I tried to adjust them but couldn't achieve it. I'm not good at Revit massing and giving me lots of headache.

Is there anyway to create   one whole curved surface instead of splitted?

Dang, Dude! That would give anyone an Excedrin headache.  Every divided surface would need a different division and justification, but you can't align one side without affecting the opposite side alignment. 

...have you thought about EIFS?  Kidding. Perhaps, another approach, like dividing a larger mass surface (e.g.less surfaces).

LOL, I tried with less surface but can't achieve the curves to wrap up the building I 'm in deep trouble 1 week to go for my presentation and no facade treatment yet. I have been super regretted to start the project massing in Revit which is a nightmare. I shouldn't have skipped Rhino option!!

Rhino?! The facade wouldn't work period -- even if you sketched it on a piece of paper. Even if you put it on a single planar surface, it would be challenging.  The panels would need to be precisely sized to fit the surface or the other way around. Abstract architecture isn't abstractly constructed.  I don't know what your class assignment is, but maybe you can salvage this work by using it to explain that concept. Maybe a Form-Function theme? Or, maybe a Modern Marvels: Great Design Disasters theme.  Or, maybe a This is your brain on drugs theme?  Basically, B.S. your way through the presentation, and then hit the next Frat party.  

Just saying...

have you thought about adaptiv families ?

Have a look at this youtube videos:

The U grids don't line up between the surfaces.  How would you expect the model patterns to line up?

[barthbradley]

...now try dividing the surfaces with Triangle Patterns. That'll really bake your noodle.  

I say, just stucco the whole thing and call it a day.

Forget the divided surfaces. They won't work as there are surfaces of different "height".

The best solution I've found, is to use divided paths.

• Select the bottom edges of the surfaces, divide path.
• Select the top edges of the surfaces, divide path.
• 
• Draw a number of (reference) lines onto the surface, using spline through points.
• 
• Select all new lines, divide path.
• Select all divided paths, assign fixed number, and a number value of your choise.
• Place your curtain panel on the appropriate points of the divide paths, and make repeater.
•
